Description
**Describe the bug**
I tried to list the remote branches in one of my remotes and `lazygit` crashed with a panic. The stacktrace is below.
For context, I have 2 remotes, one points to a public repo in github.com, let's call it "oss"; the other remote points to an internal repo in GitHub Enterprise, let's call it "private".
The remote in "private" has to be updated from time to time from "oss" main branch. The default branch is tracking `main` in the "private" remote. My workflow consists on pulling the latest changes from "oss" main branch onto a local branch named `oss_main`, merge `oss_main` into `main`, then push `main` to "private". Since Lazygit already fetches the remotes, I checkout `oss_main`, visit the "remotes" tab, select the "oss" remote, find `main` and perform a regular merge (this saves some network since "pull" re-fetches the remote).
I got the segfault when I hit "enter" in the "remotes" tab, to list the remote branches. I don't remember if I tried to list the remote branches in "oss" or "private" 😔

**To Reproduce**
I can't reproduce the issue 🙁 What I was doing when the crash happened:
1. Go to "remotes" tab
2. Press "enter" to list the remote branches
3. See error
**Expected behavior**
Lazygit does not crash, and lists the remote branches.
